CAMP LEJEUNE, NC – A Lance Corporal in the Second Marine Regiment is facing charges of disorderly conduct after "stealing" the wife of his battalion commander.

Lance Corporal Michael Gavrilovic, an infantry rifleman with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, will appear before a court-martial on the charges that he convinced Ms. Ellen Granger to file for divorce against her husband and remarry him.

Ms. Granger is the wife of Lieutentant Colonel Ron Granger, the commander of 1st Battalion 2nd Marines, and Lance Corporal Gavrilovic's commanding officer.

Lance Corporal Gavrilovic announced through his lawyer that he had received written notification stating that he was in violation of Articles 91 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Article 91 is insubordinate conduct towards an officer and 134 is a general article that addresses issues of good order and discipline.
